The existing temporary bridge, known to locals as the “Erector Set,” will be removed and replaced by a new span. Work is now underway, and is scheduled to continue until 2016.

Area residents and people who use the bridge are invited to attend the meeting to learn more about the construction plans and impact on traffic. The meeting will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at The Fore River Club at 16 Nevada St. in Quincy.

“This meeting is an opportunity for MassDOT and our contractor to communicate directly with neighbors of the project and officials from Weymouth and Quincy,” said MassDOT spokesman Michael Verseckes, in an e-mail. “At the meeting, we’ll be able to convey details of our progress to date, and next steps in the project. It’s also a chance for us to get feedback from folks, which helps us to improve upon what we’ve been doing well, and to make improvements in areas that are needed. We look forward to the opportunity to sit down with neighbors and we hope the meeting is well attended.”
